Na'vi fight large-scale battles in first trailer for Avatar: Fire And Ash
Avatar: Fire And Ash will also star Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Cliff Curtis, Britain Dalton, Trinity Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass and Kate Winslet.
The latest edition to the franchise has a screenplay by director James Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, and a story by Cameron, Jaffa, Silver, Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno.
The film will be released in cinemas worldwide in IMAX 3D, Dolby Cinema 3D, RealD 3D, 4DX, ScreenX, and premium screens on December 19 2025.
It comes after Cameron revealed the upcoming film's name at a Disney fan event in California, which he appeared at last year alongside Saldana and Worthington.
He told the 12,000-strong audience: 'The new film is not what you expect, but definitely what you want.'
The 70-year-old said 'we are not going to show footage today, it is too soon' but shared 'cool concept art to tease your imagination' which featured the characters in the sky and surrounded by fire.
He also teased a new character that audiences will 'love to hate'.
He added: 'There are new cultures and settings and creatures, and new biomes.
'You will see a lot more of Pandora, the planet, that you've never seen before.'
The Avatar film series has previously seen the release of Avatar (2009) and Avatar: The Way of Water (2022), along with a number of spin-off video games, toys, theme park rides and soundtrack albums.
The franchise's fourth and fifth films are also already planned for release.

Disney forced to make change to theme parks across America
Fireworks have long been a staple of any Disney trip, but now the skies above the Happiest Place on Earth may be a lot less dazzling. The iconic nighttime displays have been put in jeopardy due to a controversial policy imposed by Donald Trump. China is a major supplier of fireworks to the United States, but with the steep tariffs imposed on Chinese imports, shipments are being heavily impacted. Walt Disney World is the second-largest purchaser of explosives in the United States, after the US military, per Disney historians and industry insiders, according to Inside the Magic. This includes fireworks for all four parks - Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. Roughly 99 percent of fireworks used in the U.S. come from China, and tariffs were as high as 30 percent in May, according to The New York Times. Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association, an industry trade group, explained: 'I would anticipate that most people are going to get a little less bang for their buck this year. She continued, per Red River Radio : 'I think we will see some product shortages. 'I would encourage customers to shop early for the best variety of product.' One insider said, according to Inside the Magic, 'Disney doesn't make their own. They buy them from various sources. 'Each week they drive out there and pick up enough for the next week's performances.' While Disney has not publicly canceled its nightly firework shows, insiders say supply issues are already forcing the company to quietly scale back some displays, swapping out full-scale pyrotechnics for projections, lasers and drones. The changes may be subtle to casual park goers, but longtime fans are starting to take notice. One avid theme park visitor wrote about the 'situation' in a since-deleted tweet alongside a video of the new display. Her clip compared the new fireworks to the original with notable differences, including the timing of the bursts, colors and patterns. 'With the current tariff situation, I fear we will never get the original flower burst back,' she wrote, according to the outlet. 'This is the replacement. It was breathtaking and seemed to continue to burst forever. There's a number of Happily Ever After updates that have occurred.'

Disney and Universal dethroned as top theme parks
In a big win for a small-town Tennessee treasure, Dollywood has been crowned the best amusement park in the US for the second year in a row. TripAdvisor's annual list , based on thousands of traveler reviews, ranks Dollywood above giants like Disney's Magic Kingdom and Universal's Islands of Adventure. But despite Disney's enormous crowds — the Orlando parks draw up to 58 million guests a year, compared to Dollywood's 3 million — it was the Smoky Mountains park that won visitors' hearts. Knoebels Amusement Resort in Pennsylvania jumped from eighth to third place, followed by Universal's Islands of Adventure, Fun Spot America, and Silver Dollar City. Whale's Tale Waterpark in New Hampshire cracked the top 10, nudging out Busch Gardens. TripAdvisor reviewers praised Dollywood not only for its rides but for its warmth, affordability, and charm. One visitor described it as 'a place to celebrate Dolly Parton's life,' blending Southern hospitality with thrill rides and family fun. Tickets to Dollywood range from $92 to $132, with water park access available for an additional $10. Meanwhile, some Disney fans are pushing back against the rankings — and recent park changes. Gavin Doyle, founder of Disney news site called Disneyland 'the most charming and impressive theme park resort in the US,' and questioned why it didn't make the top list. 'Dollywood is a great small theme park... but Walt Disney World delivers a great vacation experience at impressive scale,' he told Daily Mail. Meanwhile, Forbes also named Dollywood the top US employer for women, based on surveys of more than 140,000 women across large companies. 'We are proud of the ways we've empowered women across our organization — from leadership development to flexible scheduling and mentorship programs,' said Dollywood vice president of human resources Susan Loveday. Disney has faced criticism for high prices and the axing of rides. One guest was furious after paying $1,394.91 for a 'bargain' day out at Disney with his family of four. Fans also criticised the park for its decision to replace Star Wars: Launch Bay with a new experience called The Magic of Disney Animation at Hollywood Studios. Fans have also been grieving the loss of the Muppet Vision 3D show and the removal of Tom Sawyer Island in Frontierland .
